I agree that we should be prepared. We are not changing these minds. But we need to have a rhetorical response that's convincing to those who don't know where they stand. And we need to move past just responding. Leftists are just terrible at rhetoric these days.
But the Right is doing all of it.
Medhi Hasan on the Chris Cuomo Show details how the rights rhetoric is painting the left as violent when the vast majority of political violence is done by extremist elements on the right.
You're pedantry detracts from the larger more salient issues. It was neither the time nor place. It also amplified the message of bad faith actors who use this true, but tangential point to discredit her. This may be why you're being downvoted. Good luck.
I love the corruption of the saying to give us the name. Reminds me of "Goodbye" being a corruption of "God be with ye".
I understand the technique. I don't understand how that changes the larger issue when you accurately bracket it from, [Black women] to [These specific black women]. Do you have a point beyond pendantics?
Neuropsychologists have the ability to diagnose dementia in all states in America. They shouldn't be doing it without a full evaluation.
I read it. Next time post the snopes article and the relevant quote.
If we would have said three weeks ago […] that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called racist. But now they're coming out and they're saying it for us! They're coming out and they're saying, "I'm only here because of affirmative action."
Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.
And then construct an actual argument. This is what he said, people are taking it out of context, and this is why it's important.
You'll still get downvoted, but at least you'll have done the hard work or connect the dots.
Honestly, I don't know how pointing out that this was said about specific black women makes any difference to the quote. You seem to think it's important.
We are a democratic republic. We democratically elect our republican representatives.
I now know way more about this than I wish I knew.
A lot of public toilets don't have a cover.
I swear it's you Carter!
Fox News is able to survive advertisement boycotts more easily than other outlets because they charge a higher rate to cable providers to carry their channel. They know their viewership will sign up with the company that has their channel and not the competitor that doesn't. So all providers need to have it because their audience is huge. So they collect a larger percentage of their revenue from these companies than other channels do.and because of that, they don't need as much money from advertisers and can more easily absorb an advertiser boycott.
Edit: Guess who won't face any accountability.
Foreshadowing for the next launch.
